Abstract excerpt
Milk fat composition has important implications in the nutritional and processing properties of milk. Additionally, milk fat composition is associated with cow physiological and health status. The main objectives of this study were (1) to estimate genetic parameters for 5 milk fatty acid (FA) groups (i.e., short-chain, medium-chain, long-chain, saturated, and unsaturated) predicted from milk infrared spectra...
